Amy Poehler is 'dating' podcast producer Joel Lovell - whose daughter once dressed up as her Inside Out character Joy

Amy Poehler is reportedly dating Pineapple Street Studios executive editor Joel Lovell, who previously worked for This American Life and New York Times Magazine.

The 53-year-old comedian has been 'enjoying spending time with' the New York-based podcast producer-editor as far back as 'earlier this summer' - according to People .

Amy might have crossed paths with Joel through their mutual connection to Philly-based broadcasting company Audacy, which happens to own Pineapple Street Studios.

Audacy is the same company behind Poehler's 2023 scripted comedy podcast, Say More with Dr? Sheila.

Lovell - who's worked on Magnificent Jerk, Missing Richard Simmons , and Serial - is father to three daughters: Addie Lovell, 23; Tess Lovell, 21; and Julia Lovell, 17.

Back in 2015, little Tessie - now a student at Cornell University - coincidentally dressed up as Poehler's Inside Out character Joy for Halloween.

The Emmy-winning actress just reprised her voiceover role as the blue-haired yellow emotion in Kelsey Mann's critically-acclaimed sequel Inside Out 2, which amassed an eye-popping $1.691B at the global box office last spring.

Amy previously dated actor John Stamos, comedian Nick Kroll, and trademark/patent lawyer Benjamin Graf.

Poehler mothered two teenage sons - Archibald William Emerson Arnett, turning 16 on October 25; and Abel James Arnett, 14 - during her nine-year marriage to her Blades of Glory leading man Will Arnett, which amicably ended in divorce in 2016.

'I just started therapy,' the Canadian 54-year-old confessed on his SmartLess podcast on August 18.

'I'm going to get real for a second. I don't know anything. This is the most scared I've been in my life is right now. It's really scary. I'm doing, like, I can't even believe I'm talking about this. I'm petrified.'

Will - who's battled alcoholism - continued: 'The best part is I told Poehler yesterday and she said, "I'm so glad." I'm like, "What do you mean you're so glad?"'

Arnett is also father to four-year-old son Alexander Denison Arnett with his babymama Alessandra Brawn who, at 37, is 17 years younger than him.

On October 10, the Massachusetts-born blonde will be honored with the Robin Williams Legacy of Laughter Award by the late comedian's children, Zak, Zelda, and Cody during Bring Change to Mind's 12th annual Revels & Revelations fundraiser in Woodside, CA.

Amy will then receive the Variety Legend & Groundbreaker Award on October 20 from the Newport Beach Film Festival in Newport, CA.
